If you want to help with Hurricane Harvey disaster relief while staying close to home, businesses in Dallas-Fort Worth's entertainment sector have started to announce special events where proceeds will go straight to relief efforts. Those important efforts are being felt outside of North Texas, too; in Cartersville, Georgia, the Anheuser-Busch brewery stopped canning beer to can and ship clean drinking water to areas affected by the hurricane.

State Fair of Texas / NorthPark

Visit the concierge desk at NorthPark (Level 1, next to Neiman Marcus) and buy discounted general admission tickets to the State Fair of Texas. (Sept. 29-Oct. 22).
